Two Ocean Lake Details

Hikers trek through forests and meadows as they circle Two Ocean Lake, offering majestic views of Grand Teton and Mt. Moran along the way. Bears are active on this trail, so make plenty of noise to avoid surprise encounters. Mule deer, moose, elk, coyotes, and a variety of waterfowl also may be seen. A side trail leads to Grand View Point. The Two Ocean Lake Trailhead can be reached via Pacific Creek Road, located just north of Moran Junction. Follow Pacific Creek Road for two miles, then go left onto Two Ocean Road; the trailhead is 2.4 miles further, at the end of the gravel road.
